Is your child struggling with emotions or finding their place at school? Do you feel weighed down by your own emotions and relationship challenges? I help adults and children ages 7-13 navigate the complexities of life and to find their confidence again. I work with adults who struggle with interpersonal relationships, codependency, and difficult emotions. I have worked with a variety of people from different backgrounds and cultures, but have found a niche in working with medical professionals and law enforcement. I work with kids who struggle with peer relationships, finding their place in school, and coping with life changes.
For children, the therapy room is a fun and safe space where we incorporate creativity and their interests. I utilize evidence-based play therapy, mindfulness, and ACT therapy. With adults, I use a unique blend of hypnotherapy and IFS to develop inner harmony, heal your inner child/subconscious wounds, and access your true self or your soul.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like additional details! I'm happy to do a free, 15-minute phone or video consult to see if I would be a good fit for you or your family.

I believe that typically, instead of approaching therapy to try to get rid of or eliminate our distressing thoughts and symptoms, we can instead learn coping skills and ways to meet our struggles with love and compassion. I find this to be more effective in reducing symptoms than other approaches where the client feels pressured to "fix" something within themselves.
